The director Andrea Porporati said:
"The film is dedicated to the victims of the July 2, 1993. I think the key is in the words of the story which Gianfranco Paglia has summarized his face disability: 'They told me I would not be able to move. I did not believe '.
Gianfranco after injuring his fingers could not even close, not even the little finger. The largest and most difficult fight of his life was back to move that finger. A battle long fought, day after day, in silence, with the help of his girlfriend and his best friend as well as therapists who helped him. And it is this challenge won that captured me and made me fall in love with this story, and this desire, finally realized, to go fly
